Referring to said drawings, 1 designates the head of a container ofan ordinary sheet p metal drum construction, said head having 25 the usual upturned rim 2 seamedor otherwise attached to. thecontainer body.

Located within adepression or countersink 3 provided in the head 1 adjacent to j H j the rim 2 is a verticalneck 4 throughwhich sodiquid contentsare introduced and removed. 1 Said neck is provided with external screw c threads for the "reception of a cap-like flthreaded closure 5, and attached in fixed relation to thetop of said closure, as by spot a welding, shown at 6, is a circular disk 7 having its outer circumferential portion shaped to form an upstanding roll or bead 8. j Provided at suitableintervalsin said roll or bead are numerous pairs of perforations 4 9and 10, the perforations of each pair being located on opposite side of said bead and separated by narrow webs 11. fiat sheet metal tongue 12 is permanently attached, as by spot welding, shown at 4 13, to the head of the container at a point f This invention relates broadly to sheet The primary object of the invention is to spouts of sheet metal drums adapted for perforations 9 and of the disk; then, the

The threaded cap or closure 5 is threaded on the neck 4: in air-tight sealing relation thereto, following which a length of flexible 1 Wire 15 is passed through the eye 14 of the tongue and through the adjacent pair of and are tightly attached, as by twisting one on the other. Such attachment of the cap or closure "to the stationary tongue serves. to malntaln the former agalnst chance rearward rotation and thus guards against leakage which would result from a slight retracting movement. 7 Following bringing together of the ends ofthewire 15, a lead seal may be applied to said ends for guarding against unauthorizedtampering with the contents of the container.

What is claimed is- 1. The combination with the sheet metal head of a container having an opening defined by a threaded neck, of a threaded caplike closure for screwing upon said neck,

and a disk rigidly carried by said closure, said disk having a circumferential upstand ing bead provided with perforations adapted forthe reception of securing means.

2. The combination with the head of a in a circumferential upstanding bead pro vided with circumferentially arranged palrs of radially related perforations adapted for the reception of means whereby it is attached to said head for preventing rotation of said cap.

3. Thecombination with the sheet ,metal head of a container having an opening delined by a threaded neck, of a threaded
